Achievable rate region for three user discrete broadcast channel based on coset codes
We present an achievable rate region for the general three user discrete
memoryless broadcast channel, based on nested coset codes. We characterize
3-to-1 discrete broadcast channels, a class of broadcast channels for which the
best known coding technique\footnote{We henceforth refer to this as Marton's
coding for three user discrete broadcast channel.}, which is obtained by a
natural generalization of that proposed by Marton for the general two user
discrete broadcast channel, is strictly sub-optimal. In particular, we identify
a novel 3-to-1 discrete broadcast channel for which Marton's coding is
\textit{analytically} proved to be strictly suboptimal. We present achievable
rate regions for the general 3-to-1 discrete broadcast channels, based on
nested coset codes, that strictly enlarge Marton's rate region for the
aforementioned channel. We generalize this to present achievable rate region
for the general three user discrete broadcast channel. Combining together
Marton's coding and that proposed herein, we propose the best known coding
technique, for a general three user discrete broadcast channel.Comment: A non-additive 3-user discrete broadcast channel is identified for
which achievable rate region based on coset codes is analytically proven to
be strictly larger than that achievable using unstructured iid codes. This
version is submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Finite Dimension Wyner-Ziv Lattice Coding for Two-Way Relay Channel
International audienceTwo-way relay channel (TWRC) models a cooperative communication situation performing duplex transmission via a relay station. For this channel, we have shown previously that a lattice-based physical layer network coding strategy achieves, at the limit of arbitrarily large dimension, the same rate as that offered by the random coding-based regular compress-and-forward. In this paper, we investigate a practical coding scheme using finite dimension lattices and offering a reasonable performance-complexity trade-off. The algorithm relies on lattice based quantization for Wyner-Ziv coding. We characterize the rate region allowed by our coding scheme, discuss the design criteria, and illustrate our results with some numerical examples
Burst-by-Burst Adaptive Decision Feedback Equalised TCM, TTCM and BICM for H.263-Assisted Wireless Video Telephony
Decision Feedback Equaliser (DFE) aided wideband Burst-by-Burst (BbB) Adaptive Trellis Coded Modulation (TCM), Turbo Trellis Coded Modulation (TTCM) and Bit-Interleaved Coded Modulation (BICM) assisted H.263-based video transceivers are proposed and characterised in performance terms when communicating over the COST 207 Typical Urban wideband fading channel. Specifically, four different modulation modes, namely 4QAM, 8PSK, 16QAM and 64QAM are invoked and protected by the above-mentioned coded modulation schemes. The TTCM assisted scheme was found to provide the best video performance, although at the cost of the highest complexity. A range of lower-complexity arrangements will also be characterised. Finally, in order to confirm these findings in an important practical environment, we have also investigated the adaptive TTCM scheme in the CDMA-based Universal Mobile Telecommunications System's (UMTS) Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) scenario and the good performance of adaptive TTCM scheme recorded when communicating over the COST 207 channels was retained in the UTRA environment
